Looking for illustrators and hand-letterers, especially in the North of England

Calling illustrators and letterers, particularly in the north of England: could you send me your websites/portfolios?

I've taken on a new role of Senior Illustrated Books Designer for Laurence King Publishing, and will be looking for freelancers for various projects. I want to build up a bit of a bank of contacts across a range of styles, in advance of any specific project.

Would especially love it if I can boost the profile of Northern talent!

Stick your links in the comments.

Thanks!

  • Hi Hannah,
    Congratulations on your new job!
    I would love to be considered to be an extra pair of creative hands.
    I love the idea of producing visuals to get you excited about a particular play or event, giving slight hints of a narative. To tell a story whilst working with one of my favourite things, the design balance between text and image.
